The abbot suffered the most damage. She was infected with syphilis and had to receive drug treatment for a long time. She was not only tortured physically, but also had to keep her faith mentally. Moreover, she was the one who took the lead and was responsible for everyone in the monastery. It is conceivable that she was under a lot of pressure. However, her practice of abandoning the newborn in the snow was discovered by the young nun. She was powerless to resist but could not find the child. The girl who finally accepted the reality and had a glimmer of hope was also pregnant with her own child, hoping that the new life would grow up vigorously, but she could not help the child with all her strength, so she collapsed and committed suicide by jumping off the building. This event became the turning point of the story.
Even if civilian women are raped, they will have different reactions. Some people will deeply blame themselves, and some people will think they have been bitten by a dog. What's more, the client is a gang of nuns? It is understandable that the abbot did such extreme actions for a reason, but the child was innocent, and her actions amounted to murder. A clergyman doing such a thing!
The heroine, a young doctor of the French Red Cross who was sent to the local (Poland), accidentally learned of such a situation. She wanted to keep the secrets for the nuns and wanted to help them very much. A person's ability is limited, and it is not easy for her to keep secrets and be reprimanded by superiors. He was almost raped by Soviet soldiers on his way home at night. After such a thing, she can understand the pain of the nuns better. I want to do my best to help them. People who watch it, like me, think so too. The nuns and these newborn children are innocent, they did nothing wrong, and if society were to condemn them, it would at most say why they didn't die on the spot.
The heroine develops trust and friendship with Maria, the second head of the convent, and also wins the trust of the other nuns. In the end, thanks to the heroine's ingenuity, the nuns adopted the war orphans on the street, so that there were little babies in the monastery. Although the heroine's work was over and she was ordered to leave Poland, the nuns got through the difficult time with her advice, and they took a group photo and wrote to her to express their gratitude. Very impressed to see it at the end.
PS: Although the story is a bit heavy, the nuns' singing is very pure and nice.
PPS: After watching this film, I really don't want to be a nun (it was originally one of the N choices in the future), I want to be the heroine who helps the nun. Because being a nun makes it easy to become narrow-minded.
